Vapor 3 has been one of the most exciting, world-changing, rug-from-out-underneath-you, interesting and at times head-banging-on-the-wall experiences since I started with Vapor! The transition to Vapor 3 is a game changer, and nothing compared to migrating to Vapor 2. Honestly I think if you are coming to Vapor 3 completely fresh with no experience of Vapor 2, you are probably going to have a better time! However, don't despair, there is light at the end of the tunnel and once you get your head around async and Futures, you will be thankful. Going back to Vapor 2 having been focused on Vapor 3 for so long sometimes feels as painful as having to go from Swift back to Java or JavaScript!

Latest Talks

This is a write up of the talk I gave at July’s Vapor London Meetup. The slides from that presentation can be found here. WARNING: this post has turned into a bit of an epic one, coming in at 8,000 words! Although I’ll skim over some basics of testing Vapor, it is a deep dive and for those who don’t feel comfortable with testing at all, I recommend reading some of the other excellent tutorials out there first.
